Emin Güler

Art Perspective;

When an artist embarks on an artistic journey, they first construct the infrastructure of their works based on their own experiences, observations and impressions.
As someone who knows Anatolia and the life of the Anatolian people; and who comes from this life, I try to create my paintings by synthesizing my experiences with my observations and impressions.
Especially in my works of the last thirty years, under the titles of '' In Pursuit of Destiny '', '' Bereketi of the Sea '' '' Under the Sun '' and '' Spring in Anatolia ''; the struggles and struggles of people and their environment for life constitute the subjects of my paintings. Sometimes the struggle of fishermen with the sea, sometimes the struggle of people with the soil, and sometimes the struggle for life of a cat, bird or another living being are reflected on my canvas within the framework of my understanding of painting.
Of course, these alone are not sufficient elements in the formation of a painting. While using the plastic elements of painting in the expression of your painting language, you need to present your own language with the integrity of essence and form with the subjects you choose based on your own forms of expression and ensure that the reflection of your language comes to life in your paintings. Here I continue my work in an effort to create Emin Güler's painting and painting language with the subjects I choose, with my own colors, plots and compositions.
